History
As a chick Yuki tumbled from her nest and was taken in by Tsuzura, who nursed her and kept her as a pet, later training her to carry written messages from place to place. During the Labyrinth Game Arc, while Tsuzura worked to reacclimate her to the wild, Boruto Uzumaki offered to lend a hand with her training, and Yuki began delivering notes to him.
When Mozu decided the boy's hobby was hurting business, she moved to take Yuki and sell the bird to a taxidermist, driving Tsuzura to run off with her. Mozu set her security after them but backed down once Sasuke offered his Senri Hawk in trade for both Yuki and Tsuzura; that hawk, placed under a genjutsu, wrecked the compound and freed the animals after they left. Tsuzura stood his ground when Mozu demanded the bird back, and Yuki stayed at his side as Sasuke left him in Maruta's care to train as an apprentice.
